Question by oblivious user
Hello, I recently started to fill some of the unassessed article on WikiProject Armenia, and I noticed that "redirect" isn't a recognised value for the "class" parameter. After a bit of looking around and asking random pedestrians I was given directions to you to ask for guidance. Is there a dedicated place to request such an addition? Or could you personally do this? Or is this value deprecated? Thank you in advance and have a nice day. - Kevo327 (talk) 11:59, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Kevo327: What you want is
{{WikiProject Armenia|class=Redir}}. However, I think most if not all of the wikiproject banners auto-detect redirects now, so this will be redundant. It should just show up as a class of "NA". If just using{{WikiProject Armenia}}does that, then there is no need to use{{WikiProject Armenia|class=Redir}}. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 10:15, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

@Akhilkodali: Please do not send me any more private e-mail about this.
I have no control over what articles exist on this site. I'm not even an admin here, just a random schmoe.
If you want to pursue deletion, see WP:Deletion policy and WP:BEFORE. However, I can tell you there is no chance of this article being deleted, because Nithyananda is clearly notable, being the subject of extensive mainstream news coverage, both positive and negative.
About the best you can do is help ensure that Wikipedia's coverage of the subject is done with a neutral point of view and using only reliable sources. You can request unblocking, with the understanding that, per the conflict-of-interest policy, you and other official representatives of the subject are not to edit the page directly, but raise your concerns on the article's talk page.

Writing advice
Hi! Can I get your input on this? It feels very wrong to me, but ... well, in real life, if a native Japanese speaking client with poor English told me that "but" was wrong because the two clauses do not directly contradict each other, I would tell the person who talks to the client that the client's understanding of English is incorrect, but since it's their document they're free to do as they will; but no one "owns" Wikipedia, so it feels wrong to handle it like that in this case. If you disagree with me, I guess I'll just agree to disagree and quietly drop it, but if you agree that it looks wrong, what would you do about it? Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 00:28, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Hijiri88: Using but isn't strictly wrong, but is slightly informal. If there's going to be a dispute about it, consider replacement wording, such as:
Kingdom Hearts III is not intended to be the final game in the series; it is the final chapter of the "Dark Seeker/Xehanort" saga.
No conjunction needed. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 09:29, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
